Developer Ironclad Games and publisher Stardock Entertainment have announced that they have launched the third closed beta stage for their space-based real-time strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, allowing gamers who have pre-ordered the title to see what kind of changes have been made during development process.

The closed beta is available via the Steam client for those who have pre-orders and those who now place an order, and gamers will be able to play both the Loyalist and the Rebel factions for the Vasari faction, both using a number of very lethal nano-tech-based weapons.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a standalone release and will re-invent the already classic strategy game, with the three core factions split into two versions, both with new capital ships and with a number of different technologies to exploit.

Rebellion is currently set to launch in the middle of June exclusively on the PC.
